Hi Robert.
While mostly a novice with Kukris, I remember purchasing this exact one from a high-end antique gun shop back in 1965, Think I paid $11.00 for it then. LOL they had a large one, and a smaller one they called the officers model. I got the larger one. I was only 15 years old then and my muther had to make the purchase since I was not 18 yet. I remember having it sharpened and carrying it in the woods on many exploritory expeditions. LOL
Anyway, as they say........thanks for the memories.
